Study on the morphological, ecological and distribution characteristics of Camellia vuquangensis and Camellia hatinhensis at Vu Quang National Park, Ha Tinh

Abstract

In the world, about 60 species of yellow camellia have been recorded and about 50 species are known in Vietnam. Camellia vuquangensis and Camellia hatinhensis were discovered and announced in 2018 in Vu Quang National Park. These two species of yellow camellia are currently considered endemic in Ha Tinh and have not been recorded in other provinces. The present study described the morphological, ecological, distribution and regenerative characteristics of these two species of yellow camellia in Vu Quang National Park. Research results will contribute to proposing appropriate measures for conservation and development.
